IBM POWER11 S1124 & L1124

Efficiently Scale Out Your Data-Intensive Applications

The IBM Power S1124 and L1124 systems are powerful scale-out servers designed to deliver exceptional throughput for your most demanding applications.

The Power S1124 supports IBM AIX, IBM i, and Linux, making it a flexible choice for application and database servers. The Power L1124 is tailored specifically for Linux environments, providing a highly cost-effective platform for open-source databases and Red Hat OpenShift.

Both models leverage the Power11 DCM processor and a flat CPU interconnect to deliver superior scalability, with up to 25% more core capacity than the previous generation.

KEY POINTS TO CONSIDER

The enterprise class compute platform with massive I/O and storage throughput

These 4U servers provide a dense compute platform with up to 60 cores per system and up to 8 TB of DDR5 memory, which offers up to 50% more bandwidth than the previous generation.

Enterprise-class RAS features, uncommon in scale-out systems, are standard, including Spare Cores for increased availability and Active Memory Mirroring. With ten PCIe slots (eight of which are Gen5 capable) and capacity for up to 16 internal NVMe drives, the S1124/L1124 provides massive I/O and storage throughput.

The entire system is protected with Quantum-safe encryption for secure boot and workload migration.
